In 1969, the Utah State Legislature passed the Utah Public Transit District Act, which allowed individual communities to address transportation needs by forming local transit districts. By 1960, bus ridership was only about one third the level of war-time Salt Lake, and the average age of riders was 14. Throughout the 1950s buses became more and more unpopular, with low gas prices and subsidized construction of highways like Interstate 15. NSL had bought out and promptly decommissioned the electric trolleys operated by the Utah Light and Traction Company in Salt Lake City neighborhoods like the Avenues in the 1940s. Ironically, among the constitutive companies of the UTA was National City Lines, famous for its alleged cannibalization of American streetcar lines on behalf of General Motors. The Utah Transit Authority traces its roots to 1953 when several bus companies united to form the organization. In 2021, the system had a ridership of 23,960,100, or about 100,300 per weekday as of the third quarter of 2022.
